Wedding(Part2) and Art

 

 Hi Peeps! Hope this week finds you all well. We have been experiencing the most gorgeous, warm (65-76 F degrees) and sunny days since last Wednesday and I am in heaven!! We still have Swiss Chard in the garden, and my hanging baskets and pots of geraniums are still blooming and quite beautiful😀 This is truly our Indian Summer!

 Before heading to more wedding photos I'll share this tag on a burlap journal page meant for Tag Tuesday for the theme of "texture":

My cluster tag inspiration is from both Dina Wakley and Megan Whisner Quinlan- both of whom have been sharing lots of art and videos on Instagram. I did lots of stamping and painting of images in the evenings and then cutting them while enjoying the sunshine outside in the afternoons. I also layed down lines of washi tapes on thin papers to collage with. You can see here what I did:

                  Lots of fussy cutting!

 Now for some more wedding photos- these are from the reception at the barn house at Barn Swallow Farm:

           The sweetheart table for the bride and groom.

 This table was on the left walking in and it held personalized lidded mason jars for each of the guests.

   Across from the table above was this decorated table with personal photos strung up.

The venue was filled with twinkling lights from floor to ceiling and it was just stunning!

Besides this hors d'oeuvres table there were hot hors d'oeuvres being served. Sadly I did not try one thing as Bill and I were busy greeting people before dinner.

                         The cake table setting.

This is the laser cut wood piece Kyra ordered from Etsy. It came from someone in Europe!

The cake was made to look like birch tree logs as they have a love of camping and visiting state parks. It was a deep dark chocolate and SO good! (No, there was NO smooshing of cake in the faces😉)

 And that's all we have for now. Hope I didn't bore you too much. I will join T Stands For Tuesday with this segment of pics- (the yet empty mason jar drinking glasses in the second pic, and I'm sure you'll find glimpses of glasses in other photos as well). Cheers!

 This last journal page is for Art Journal Journey (theme is birds), and Paint Party Friday:

 I started with the Collage Collective bird collage clipping. I then extended paint, drips, words and text paper pieces over and around the clip art to blend it better onto the page. 

 Enjoy your week everyone. Til next time...
